Rawlings' 5150 Alloy Bats have an extremely balanced feel for maximum swing speed and improved bat control. These alloy bats are consistently hotter than aluminum bats of the past because they are built with a longer barrel and a multiwall design. Barrel size and handle vary by level of play.

Rawlings' 5150 Alloy Bats are the senior league bat -10 with 2-¾” barrel (model number SL51XA), the senior league bat -10 with 2-5/8” barrel (model number SL51A1), the youth league bat -12 with 2-1/4” barrel (model number YB51B) and the junior big barrel baseball bat -10 with 2-¾” barrel (model number YB5J10).

Plasma bats are the high school/collegiate bat -3 (model number BBCPLA), the senior league bat -5 (model number SLPL5) and the youth baseball bat -12 (model number YBPLA3).

(Note that Rawlings has had previous bats and technology with similar names: Plasma Gold, Plasma Fusion and Plasma Silver. Plasma bats are not made with the Plasma Fusion technology.)

Like plasma bats, Rawlings' Raptor Bat features a high-strength aerospace plasma alloy and a premium synthetic leather grip. It has a Sure-Lock end plug. The Raptor bat has a new color and design that will make it a hit this season. A youth baseball bat -11 (model number YBRAPT) is available at RawlingsGear.com.

A new T-ball bat is the Composite CRX Bat -13 (model number TBCRX). This is a 100 percent composite bat and is ultra-light for maximum swing speed. This bat has a 2-¼” barrel and is approved in all youth leagues.

All Rawlings nonwood bats carry a one-year warranty. If the bat hasn't been used, it can be returned to RawlingsGear.com. If it has been used, visit Rawlings.com for warranty details.

In addition to these new nonwood bats, Rawlings also has a new wood bat series, Maple Ace™. Made with the same high-grade maple wood professional players use, Rawlings' Maple Ace™ bats combine Adirondack® balanced timber with the player-preferred natural unfinished look.

They are available in an all-natural finish (model number R243M) or a natural finish with black handle (model number R243MB). Bat lengths are 32”, 33” and 34”.
